GEO Group (GEO) Expects to Cut Dividend

GEO Group (NYSE: GEO) expects to reduce quarterly dividend to $0.34 per share, $1.36 per share annualized.

"Beginning with our next quarterly dividend payment in October 2020, we expect to declare quarterly dividend payments of $0.34 per share, or $1.36 per share annualized, solely within the discretion of our Board of Directors and based on various factors. This new dividend payment target will allow GEO to remain structured as a publicly traded REIT, while preserving capital to be applied towards the repayment of debt. During 2020, we expect to repay approximately $100 million in debt, and starting in 2021, we expect to apply between $50 million and $100 million on average in excess cash flows towards debt repayments annually."
